“The boys felt confident be-cause they were playingstrong,” said NHHS varsityhockey head coach Tom
Roche. “They knew going inthat with a win they wouldmake the state playoffs. Theboys came out playing wellright off the bat.”
After a scoreless first peri-od, junior Karl Anderson putNorth Haven ahead 1-0 withan unassisted goal 2:21 intothe second. A little over two
minutes later, senior co-cap-tain Tyler DeMartin scoredunassisted to make it 2-0.

The event was hosted bythe Quinnipiac Chamber ofCommerce at Fantasia Ban-quet Hall on Washington Av-enue. President of the Quin-nipiac Chamber of Com-merce, Robin Wilson, openedthe event with welcoming re-marks and then introducedFreda.

Cold temperatures andblustery winds didn’t dis-courage 20 people from hik-ing through QuinnipiacRiver State Park one recentSunday afternoon.
Participants dressed inheavy layers followed Quin-nipiac River Watershed As-sociation volunteer PeterPicone, a wildlife biologist,through the wooded areathat runs along Route 15and the river. Every year,Picone hosts the winterwildlife hike as a way to ed-ucate people about thegreat outdoors.
“It brings people out-side,” Picone said. “Peoplesee what’s here locally.”
The hike started on Ban-ton Street. As the group
walked on, Picone ex-plained that the road usedto be lined with cottagesthat were frequently flood-ed. Occupants had to leavethe cottages when the landwas claimed under emi-nent domain. The homeswere demolished, but foun-dations remain visible.
Picone took the group offthe paved path and into anarea with tall evergreens.Such trees make goodhomes for the northernsaw-whet owl, Picone said.
“They hang out in theevergreens,” Picone said.The hikers had their neckscraned as they looked upinto the trees.
The owl is prey to otherspecies and therefore needsa place to stay secure, Pi-

Diagnosis Movies: 2012 Academy Award predictionsBy Tanya Feke
This time of year alwaysbrings out the movie nerd inme. The glamour and glitz ofcelebrity fashion is fun towatch, and the return of hostBilly Crystal will rejuvenatethe long-lost sparkle of re-cent telecasts. Still, the heartof the Academy Awards isthe movies themselves.Knowing I’ve seen many ofthe films, I feel as if, in someoddball way, I too have some-thing at stake with the read-ing of each folded envelope.
Oscar predictions are adime a dozen. Anyone canmake predictions withoutseeing a single film. It is easyenough to read popular mag-azines or to run analyses offof winners from other awardshows this season. However,who will win and who shouldwin are two completely dif-ferent things. The only wayto make an educated opinionis to actually see the films.
Not counting documen-taries, short films and for-eign films (since these arenearly impossible for the av-
erage theater-goer to find),the Academy placed 94 nomi-nations this year in 19 cate-gories. Of these 94 nomina-tions, 52 of them are associ-ated with Best Picture nomi-nees. Additionally, 28 otherfilms are recognized, andeight of these have multiplenominations - The Girl withthe Dragon Tattoo havingthe highest tally at five, fol-lowed by Albert Nobbs, Tin-ker Tailor Solider Spy and,yes, Transformers: Dark ofthe Moon with three each.Popular films Bridesmaidsand Harry Potter alsosnagged two nods apiece.
Of course it is fun to rootfor your favorite celebrity orfilm, but it is more fun whenyou know that they actuallydeserve it. There is a lot ofvoting for popularity, and, inthe background, Hollywoodpoliticking for votes gets asugly as with presidentialelections. In the grandscheme, we must rememberthat an award is only a con-glomerate of an opinion, andit is always “an honor to benominated.” That said, here
are my predictions.BEST PICTURE:Nominees: The Artist, The
Descendants, ExtremelyLoud & Incredibly Close, TheHelp, Hugo, Midnight inParis, Moneyball, The Treeof Life and War Horse.
Number of nomineesseen: 9 of 9.
Who will win: The Artist.Who should win: The De-
scendants.Commentary: The Artist
is enchanting and nostalgicbut overall gimmicky. In con-trast, The Descendantsshowcases true heart in itseveryman subtlety. Withcampaigning behind thescenes fiercely funded andheavy-handed, an unfair ad-vantage may be given to TheArtist this year.
BEST ACTOR:Nominees: Demian Bichir
(A Better Life), GeorgeClooney (The Descendants),Jean Dujardin (The Artist),Gary Oldman (Tinker TailorSoldier Spy) and Brad Pitt(Moneyball).
Number of nomineesseen: 4 of 5.
Who will win: Jean Du-jardin.
Who should win: GeorgeClooney.
Commentary: Dujardinbrings new meaning to “ex-pressive” with his expansivemannerisms and his seem-ingly choreographed move-ments. With equal fervor,Clooney delivers a perform-ance outside of his norm as abroken-hearted soul thatbreaks your heart while hegrapples with the unexpect-ed. This should be his year.
BEST ACTRESS:Nominees: Glenn Close
(Albert Nobbs), Viola Davis(The Help), Rooney Mara(The Girl with the DragonTattoo), Meryl Streep (TheIron Lady) and MichelleWilliams (My Week withMarilyn).
Number of nomineesseen: 3 of 5.
Who will win: Viola Davis.Who should win: Viola
Davis.
Commentary: MerylStreep is a fan favorite, butsince her Sophie’s Choicewin in 1983, she has becomethe Susan Lucci of the Os-cars, losing 12 of her lastnominations. Despite a stel-lar turn as former PrimeMinister Margarett Thatch-er, Streep’s losing trend willcontinue in light of Davis’portrayal of soul-searchingmaid Aibileen. She simplyshines with a maternalmajesty that cannot betouched.
BEST DIRECTOR:Nominees: Woody Allen
(Midnight in Paris), MichelHazanavicius (The Artist),Terrence Malick (The Tree ofLife), Alexander Payne (TheDescendants) and MartinScorsese (Hugo).
Number of nomineesseen: 5 of 5.
Who will win: Michel Haz-anavicius.

Remember When: the great movie years of the 1930sBy Paul Colella
The North Haven Citizen
On No-vember 13,1929, follow-ing threetough weekswhich hadwitnessed apanic-riddencollapse ofstock-market
prices, Wall Street hit its lowfor the year. Nobody knewthen the extent of what wascoming, that by 1932, one outof every four workers wouldbe jobless, or that thelongest, deepest depressionof modern times wouldlinger until the outbreak ofWorld War II.
Despite those numerouseconomic setbacks, Ameri-can cinema persevered.
When the year 1930dawned, the world of movieswas turned topsy-turvy andmotion pictures were one ofa few industries to prosper.Sound had arrived back in1927 when Al Jolson ap-
peared in the first all-talkingpicture called The JazzSinger. Silent films becameas archaic as the buggy whipand many were abandonedoutright. Many of the greatstars like Clara Bow, CharlieChaplin, Mary Pickford, andothers of the earlier erafound that their careers hadcome to a shuddering halt.
New faces appeared onstudio lots, including ClarkGable, Katharine Hepburn,James Cagney, Bette Davis,Marlene Dietrich, Fred As-taire and Ginger Rogers,Shirley Temple, the MarxBrothers, Edward G. Robin-son, Joan Crawford, Gary
Cooper, Maurice Chevalier,and scores of others. Play-wrights and poets, novelists,stage directors and produc-ers flocked westward to minethe gold that had been dis-covered in the HollywoodHills.
The 30s saw the survivaland evolution of the motion-picture industry, with itsgrappling with the soundfilm and the production ofan astonishing assortment ofspectacularly fine features,from All Quiet on the WesternFront to Gone with the Wind,from The Last Days of Pom-peii to The Wizard of Oz,from It Happened One Nightto Stagecoach, from The Pri-vate Life of Henry VIII toMutiny on the Bounty, fromThe 39 Steps to Cavalcade,
from Captain Blood toCamille, from Lost Horizonto The Prisoner of Zenda,from Little Women toTarzan.
As the 30s progressed,trains and planes arrivedeach week in Los Angelesbearing recruits from thevaudeville stage and silentfilm industry. Some were al-ready big names such asFredric March, JohnGilberts and Janet Gaynor.Others, like Clark Gable,Humphrey Bogart JamesCagney, Carole Lombard,Joan Crawford, NormaShearer, Greta Garbo, GaryCooper, Ronald Colman,Marie Dressler, Wallace

Beery, and Marion Daviessoared to popularity.
If it had not been for themovies, the 30s would havebeen an even sorrier time forthe average American. Forfrom 10 to 50 cents you couldsee a double feature, plus acartoon, plus a newsreel, plus(at the top price) an hour-longstage show headed by top tal-ent. These were valuable, en-tertainment-filled hours inwhich people tried to forgetthe endless wait in long linesfor jobs or at soup kitchens,the ominous letters from theelectric company, the gascompany, the phone company,and the landlord all sayingthe same thing: “pay up orelse.”
The films of the 30s were abountiful crop of truly finemotion pictures. What youcould show was differentthan in today’s flicks. Nuditywas banned, profanity andvulgar language were notpermitted, a husband andwife could not be shown to-gether in bed, a kiss was re-stricted in length and per-formed with tightly clamped
lips, and horror films focusedon suspense, mystery, andmurder without blood, guts,and gore. These restrictionsand demands came frompressure groups like churchand civic organizations, com-bined with a Hollywood code.
Big stars appeared in fouror five films a year and madeappearances at specialfundraisers and events.Movie stars were also sub-jected to strict curfews andproper code of behavior onand off screen. It was thehuge Hollywood studios thatruled the roost.
The 30s saw the star sys-tem reach its peak. At a timewhen factory workers andwhite-collar employees weredrawing salaries that rangedfrom $40, to less than halfthat amount, per week,scores of starred playersdrew from $3,000 to $10,000 ormore each week. One andtwo-story ranch houses andmansions with lavish gar-dens and lawns filled BeverlyHills, Pacific Palisades, andColdwater Canyon.
At that time, Hollywoodwas a town full of shrewdbusinessmen, brilliant direc-tors, talented actors, phoniesand down-to-earth people,
seekers of the fast buck, ded-icated artists and dreamersof stardom, sleek limousinesand tattered jalopies, oneroom apartments and mag-nificent mansions. Duringthe Great Depression, Holly-wood was a mini-metropolisfilled with stories of successand failure, scandals and se-crets, and movie vaults filledwith fine films.
Life will fade, people willcome and go, good times willnot last forever and hardtimes will try our spirits, but
the memories remain. Forthe movie stars or the im-mortals of the screen, theyilluminated the moviescreens of the world withtheir personalities and theirtalents. They bring back ahost of pleasant memoriesfor people who have been go-ing to movies since the silentfilms. For younger fans, itwill give substance andmeaning to those stars ofyesteryear whose namesthey hear but whose facesthey do not know. But they
have left us with their de-lightful and fascinatingmovies that have produced acountless number of goodmemories, including thegreat movie years of the1930s. So while we can, weshould remember when.

In 2011, the hospital hadproposed an emergency de-partment satellite centerwith other medical services,but pulled its application af-ter the state agency that mustapprove such projects putforth an unfavorable prelimi-nary decision.
Freda further explainedthat the Yale-New Haven proj-ect could join an onsite med-ical office building that is al-ready being built on DevineStreet.
After the speech, VincentPetrini, Yale-New Haven Hos-pital’s senior vice-presidentfor public affairs, echoed Fre-da. “I can attest to the factthat the hospital is formulat-ing its proposal and wouldprovide further details in theweeks ahead,” Petrini said.“The people of North Havenwant us to come and we want
to come here. We always saidthat we would be back withanother proposal.”
Later in his address, Fredastated that discussions areunderway about post-gradu-ate housing for students whowill be attending QuinnipiacUniversity’s medical schoolat Washington Avenue.Northern Washington Av-enue is a possible location forthe housing and would helpwith the revitalization ofthat area, a major thorough-fare into town.
Freda also talked aboutthree different options for theredevelopment of the formerPratt and Whitney site whichhave been presented to prop-erty owner Mickey Rabina.
“The three projects thathave been presented to Mr.Rabina can be dynamic androbust. If it doesn’t work, wewill be back to square one,”added Freda. “This is a criti-cal time for this project andtime will tell.”
Concerning town finances,Freda said the town is doingwell, with back-to-back sur-pluses and a fund balance of8 percent. He is striving tohold the line on taxes thisyear. He also mentioned thatsome new businesses havecome to town includingrestaurants that have addedto the Grand List.
Freda concluded, “I knowthese are difficult times andmany are facing hardshipsand challenges, but we willget through it and makeNorth Haven a great town forbusinesses, residents, ourseniors and our children. Wewill do it by working collabo-ratively and never giving up.We are all in this together,which is for North Haven —our town.”
People in attendance —who included town employ-ees and department heads, lo-cal business leaders and townresidents — numberedaround 130. “I enjoyed listen-ing to First Selectman Fre-da’s speech. It was optimisticand positive, and a crowdpleaser,” said Miriam E.Brody, attendee and NorthHaven resident. “He touchedon issues we don’t alwayshere about and I’m glad I at-tended.”

Who should win: Alexan-der Payne.
Commentary: Hazanavi-cus orchestrates a sinceretribute to the silent era, bor-rowing from films of the pastwith reverence and good hu-mor. It is Payne’s direction,however, that stands outmost. His vision captures theessence of every Americanwith its nuance and easyidentifiability, making TheDescendants an instant clas-sic.
I encourage you to step outand catch some of the nomi-
nated films in your local the-ater or, in some cases, in yourown home. Be your own ex-pert!

Looking for changeAnita Annunziato, the Community Re-lations Manager for the Connex Cred-it Union in North Haven, recentlymade an offer that was hard for the lo-cal Rotary club to refuse. She brieflyspoke about the benefits of the creditunion, her point of interest was basedon an opportunity for the club to raisesome money for their charities. Thecredit union invites anyone who maywish to have that proverbial jar full ofloose coins counted and replacedwith paper currency, to come in touse their machine. They have designated the Rotary club as the recipient withwhom they will share the 5 to 7 percent fee that is collected when coins arecounted now through March 31. Each quarter of the year, the credit union do-nates such fees to interested non-profit groups. The non-profit institution alsosupports the North Haven High School’s Project Graduation each year, whichprovides a drug/alcohol free celebration following graduation.

State column
Malloy bravely seizesfailing schools issue
By Chris Powell
Proposing recently tomake liquor stores competeon the same terms as ordi-nary business, without pricesupports and the ban on Sun-day sales, Governor Malloyconfronted a powerful but in-defensible special interestthat always could have beenpushed out of the way of thepublic interest by any gover-nor so inclined. Connecticutnever had such a governoruntil now.
But proposing the otherday to take responsibility forthe worst failing publicschools in the state, Malloydove into the swamp of edu-cation policy and social dis-integration. This was amaz-ingly courageous and muchmore dangerous politically.
Liquor law reform is sim-ple and achievable with po-litical will, just a matter ofrepealing a few laws andbribing the “mom and pops”into retirement by restrict-ing new liquor licenses andletting the “mom and pops”sell theirs. But trying to turnaround failing schools mess-es with all the social patholo-gies as well as with teacherunions, school boards, andparents.
The governor would havethe state education commis-sioner commandeer as manyas 25 failing schools and as-sign them new management,like universities or non-prof-it groups. The seized schoolswould be placed in some-thing called the “Commis-sioner’s Network” and be su-pervised by his “Turn-
around Team, “which “willseek out best practices fromwithin the state and acrossthe country and promote theimplementation of high-quality school models.”
That is, there isn’t yet anyspecific plan for rescuingschools, and plans likelywould differ among schoolsand involve experimenta-tion. But no matter. Con-necticut already has a fewcharter schools that do wellwith disadvantaged studentsand can provide good exam-ples, and there will be noshortage of ideas, like thetwo specifics cited in the gov-ernor’s outline, a longerschool day and year.
The governor’s plan pre-sumes much greater man-

State editorial
Teachers and tenureBy Kyle Swartz
Governor Dannel P. Mal-loy’s call to change howConnecticut teachers at-tain tenure has gottenmuch bipartisan supportfrom state legislators forgood reason. Alterations tothis academic processwould upgrade an outdatedsystem, all to promote bet-ter education experiencesfor students.
Currently, state instruc-tors receive tenure auto-matically after four yearsof employment. Dismiss-ing ineffectual teachers isdifficult. So too is orderingthat they undergo retrain-ing for correction of weak-nesses. Due to limitedmeans of addressing un-derperformance, schoolscould be forced to keep onpayrolls staff memberswho are not of high ability,a disservice to kids and tax-payers.
Malloy’s sensible planwould provide tenure afterthree years, but only ifteachers first earn passinggrades on two professionalevaluations which mostlymeasure their students’levels of achievement. In-structors who fail wouldthen enter a probationaryperiod, during which theymust demonstrate im-provement or face job loss.
If signed into law, thiswould apply to all stateteachers, including newhires and even those whoalready have tenure.
Modifications would re-fine a workplace-promo-tion philosophy whichcould seem out of touchwith fiscal realities in to-day’s unstable economic at-mosphere. Default tenureafter four years is an expen-sive long-term compensa-tion which municipalitiescan no longer afford to of-fer. Providing superlativeeducation should be moreimportant than guaranteedsalary and employment.But almost one in five statedistricts only consider sen-iority when making schoolpersonnel layoffs, and ap-proximately 52 percent ofdistricts use seniority as aprimary factor in deter-mining cutbacks. This doesnot put students’ needsfirst.
Up to 15 percent of Con-necticut teachers would notpass suggested evaluations,stated Patrick Riccards ofthe school reform groupConnCAN (Record-Jour-nal, 2-9). Malloy’s propos-als, however, are not craft-ed to eliminate large num-bers of instructors. In-stead, probationary peri-

agement than is now allowedin public schools, includingthe authority to replaceteachers in schools comman-deered by the Commission-er’s Network. Teachers notretained by commandeeredschools, Education Commis-sioner Stefan Pryor says,could apply for openings intheir school districts “on thebasis of their qualificationsand effectiveness,” a niceway of saying that theymight be out of work.
As job security for teach-ers might no longer be thehighest objective of publicschool administration, atleast not in failing schools,the teacher unions may resistsuch administrative discre-tion, and getting it throughthe General Assembly maynot be easy. But the governorsounds determined. “Are yougoing to tolerate failingschools,” he asks, “because ofsome prior agreement, or be-cause of the way things weredone in the past, because it’snot easy to take on the chal-lenge of reform?”
This question was ad-

‘Act in time to heart attack signs’
dressed in legislation 15years ago when Hartford’sschools were briefly put un-der state supervision. Thelaw created a peculiar excep-tion, directing arbiters ofHartford teacher union con-tracts to settle them in thebest interest of students, aformal acknowledgment thatstudent interests had neverbefore been first in educa-tional policy in Connecticutand haven’t been since.
Apart from labor rela-tions, the other big problemfacing the governor’s schoolrescue plan is money. He pro-poses to appropriate $25 mil-lion for the “TurnaroundTeam” over two years —money he doesn’t have at themoment, as despite his mon-ster tax increases state gov-ernment is running a deficitagain. That $25 million prob-ably won’t be enough to res-cue 25 schools if new man-agers are to be compensated,the school day lengthened,and better teachers recruit-ed. And Connecticut hasscores of failing schools, notjust 25.
But the deeper the gover-nor dives into this swamp,the more he may discern thatremediation is less the solu-
tion to Connecticut’s notori-ous educational “achieve-ment gap” than turning offthe child neglect machine is— a machine of governmentthat subsidizes and thus le-gitimizes and coddles child-bearing outside marriage,depriving so many childrenof the primary source of ed-ucation, parents.
Indeed, some successfulremedial schools around thecountry have begun to func-tion almost as orphanages,feeding students not onlylunch but breakfast and din-ner as well because no one athome does that or much ofanything else for the kids.
What would public educa-tion be like — indeed, whatwould the country be like —if most kids were born intofamilies again instead ofnearly half of them not so?Whatever Connecticutspends on the governor’sschool turnaround team maybe worthwhile, with or with-out success, if it prompts alittle wonder along thoselines.

“Act in Time to Heart At-tack Signs” is an importantslogan to remember. Whatdoes it mean? Statistically, itis known that heart attacksthat are treated within onehour of occurrence have in-credibly better outcomes.This means that quick re-sponse with medical inter-vention can prevent perma-nent heart damage or evensave your life.
Many people are embar-rassed to call 911 for help ifthey aren’t sure that they’rehaving a heart attack. Thisis very unfortunate becausequick action can save a life.Others think that heart at-tacks occur with sudden, in-tense pain (“the Hollywoodversion” – Remember FredSanford?) This is unfortu-nate because many heart at-tacks start slowly with amild pain or discomfort or
feeling like you have indiges-tion. Symptoms can differbetween men and women.The symptoms can come andgo.
Still others believe that ifthey are having a heart at-tack, they are going to die, sowhy bother to act quickly?The answer is because quickaction can save a life.
Why does a quick re-sponse make such a big dif-ference in survival rates?The answer is because clot-busting drugs and other ar-tery opening treatments canstop a heart attack in itstracks, thus preventing orlimiting damage. But theyneed to be started immedi-ately after symptoms begin— the sooner the better. Ide-ally, the time frame is withinone hour. This doesn’t leavemuch time to debate whetheror not you should seek treat-ment.
What are the symptoms of
a heart attack? The warningsigns are:
— Chest discomfort.Most heart attacks involvediscomfort in the center ofthe chest that lasts for morethan a few minutes or goesaway and come back. Thediscomfort can feel like un-comfortable pressure,squeezing, fullness or pain.
— Discomfort in other ar-eas of the upper body. Thiscan include pain or discom-fort in one or both arms, theback, neck, jaw or stomach.
— Shortness of breath.This often occurs along withchest discomfort. But it canalso occur before chest dis-comfort.
— Other symptoms in-
clude breaking out in a coldsweat, nausea, or light-head-edness or feeling like youhave indigestion, but it does-n’t go away.
In the old days, heart at-tacks meant sure death. Butin today’s world, life can goon for many years followinga heart attack. Learn to rec-ognize the signs of a heart at-tack and take quick action ifa heart attack is suspected.The experts say wait no morethan five minutes.
Who should you call if yoususpect a heart attack? Theanswer is 911. Emergencymedical personnel can startyou on treatment the mo-ment they arrive on thescene. If a family member orfriend takes you, you delaytreatment and decrease the
odds of survival. Don’t evenstop to take an aspirin. TheEMS can do that on the wayto the hospital. Remember, itis quick action that saveslives from heart attacks.Don’t be embarrassed. Beproactive!

Chiropractor tip of the weekKeep the body in alignment while sitting in an of-
fice chair and while standing. You should distributeyour body weight evenly to the front, back, and sides ofthe feet while standing. While sitting in an office chair,don’t forget to take advantage of the chair’s features. Situp straight and work on aligning the ears, shoulders, andhips in one vertical line. Any single position, even a goodone, will be tiring. Leaning forward with a straight backcan alternate with sitting back, using the back support ofthe office chair to ease the work of back muscles. Also beaware of and avoid unbalanced postures such as crossinglegs unevenly while sitting, leaning to one side, hunchingthe shoulders forward or tilting the head.

Basketball bounces SheehanBy Andrew Gargano
The North Haven Citizen
The North Haven High School varsity boys’ bas-ketball team recovered from back-to-back losseswith a 59-46 win over Sheehan last Friday night inthe final regular season home game of the year.
Seniors Billy McDonald and Dominic Schioppocombined for 37 points in the victory, whichmoved North Haven to 10-9 on the season.
Coach Peter Civitello was pleased with histeam’s performance, particularly after a com-manding third quarter that saw North Haven pullaway on a 16-6 run.
“We played solid defense and limited their sec-
ond-chance opportunities,” said Civitello after thegame. “We got hurt with that stuff a little bit in thefirst half even though we had the lead, but once weplayed some defense, it actually made our offenseeven better.”
North Haven went into the second half with a30-26 lead but the dominant defensive perform-ance in the third allowed a variety of players toshine offensively.
“We’ve gone through stretches where Billy andDom have scored 80 to 90 percent of our points,”said Civitello. “They’re always our two main of-fensive threats, but tonight other people scored.”
Junior Will Reaves (6 points) and seniors JacobMikos (7 points) and Spencer Oakes (5 points)
were some of the others that contributed. Fridaymarked the first time all season that North Havenhad five separate players score five-plus points inone game.
Civitello said it was nice to be able to get a winon senior night, and added that his Indians arehopeful to be playing for the home crowd again inthe SEC postseason tournament.
“It was nice,” said Civitello. “But I credit thekids for not thinking it was their last game. Theyknow the importance of seeding in the playoffs.”
North Haven’s last regular season game will beplayed on the road at Law.

them,” Roche said. “We start-ed off well, but due to earlymistakes, we were down 2-1by the end of the first period.We changed goalies for thesecond and third periods.”
“Our boys played verywell,” he added of the loss toSouth Windsor. “In my opin-ion, we were the better team.We dominated play and out-shot them. But in the endthey put more pucks into thenet than we did and we lost.”
Before the game againsthighly ranked Notre Dameon Feb. 20 eventually turnedchippy, North Haven honoredthe squad’s 11 seniors on Se-nior Night.
“Senior Night is very spe-cial to us,” Roche said. “TheNorth Haven parents and theFriends of North HavenHockey do such a phenome-nal job of celebrating the sen-iors. The seniors got photo-graphs and framed jerseys.First Selectman Michael Fre-da was even there.”
Senior Night 2011 wasNorth Haven’s last regular-season home game of theyear. The Indians were espe-cially eager for the matchupagainst Notre Dame, who hadjust beaten first-ranked Fair-field Prep, and who had de-feated NHHS 7-2 in Decem-ber’s West Haven WinterClassic Championship.

“The boys knew it was go-ing to be a challenge. And theboys felt up to the chal-lenge,” Roche said. “Theboys were excited. They likeplaying against top-notchteams.”
“The excitement did getthe best of some of the play-ers,” he added. “That was achippy game. I’m not goingto blame anybody or therefs.”
A little over three minutesin, the Green Knights tookadvantage of a North Havenpenalty and scored a powerplay goal. The teams thenplayed evenly for the rest ofthe period.
DeMartin took a pass fromsenior co-captain Mike An-
dreucci and scored to tie thegame at 1-1 56 seconds intothe second period, but AlexEspostio scored 28 secondslater to put Notre Dame backin front, 2-1.
Bill Vizzo found the nettwice to cap second-periodscoring and send the GreenKnights to the locker-roomup 4-1 at the end of the sec-ond.
Indian Karl Andersonmade things interesting inthe third when he scoredwith 3:38 to play to cut NotreDame’s lead to 4-2, but theKnights would add an emptynet goal with two seconds re-maining to make the final 5-2.
The game featured two
game-stopping brawls, over25 penalties and over onehour of penalty box time.
“We like to play with anedge,” Roche said afterward.“We like to play aggressive.”
“Those penalties reallyhurt us, though,” he added.“Penalties continue to hurtus bad. I feel that our teamcan compete with anybody,five-on five. But we can’t beatteams when we’re in thepenalty box all the time.”
Three game misconductsand disqualifications werehanded down. Tyler De-Martin and Anthony Tonda-lo for North Haven and Dar-rien Capobianco for NotreDame. They will be ineligi-ble for their teams’ next two
contests.“When you’re playing the
style of hockey that we play,you have to be able to main-tain your mental maturity.That aggression, you have tobe able to give it, and alsotake it,” Roche said. “We hadseveral players in that gamewho were not able to take it.”
The loss dropped the Indi-ans to 8-10 with a pair ofroad games remaining in theregular season againstDarien and Watertown/Pom-peraug.
“We are looking to finishthe season strong and godeep into the state playoffs,”Roche said.

cone said. Up in the trees is agood place for them to havetheir own habitat, he said. Heshowed the crowd a stuffedsaw-whet owl and played theowl’s call.
“It doesn’t sound like anowl,” said third-grader TylerHeinz.
Picone explained the saw-whet owl got its name be-cause its call sounds like thefiling of a blade. Unfortu-nately, no owls were presentSunday afternoon and thegroup moved on. In a smallclearing, Picone talked aboutprotecting red cedar, vegeta-tion that is often eaten bywhite-tailed deer. Signs ofdeer crossing were spottedonce the pavement ended andthe hikers were walking on
dirt. Picone bent down to look at
the tracks, which he said looka little like hearts. A deer’shoof is narrow at the bottomand wide at the top. Lookingclosely at the tracks, he couldtell what direction the deer
was traveling. “The closer you are to na-
ture, the more you learn,” Pi-cone said as the grouptrekked on through leavesand fallen branches.
Meriden resident ChrisWebster said she loves beingoutdoors. She wanted to seesome winter animals andwasn’t going to let a little coldweather stand in her way.
“You can’t stay in all thetime,” she said.
Webster said Picone point-ed out things in nature shewould never notice, such as
holes where animals mightdwell.
While Picone spotted signsof wildlife including a turkeyvulture and red-tailed hawk,hikers spotted deer drop-pings and a painted turtleswimming under the ice in avernal pool.
“This is the first time wesaw a turtle on one of thesehikes,” Picone said. Thegroup of hikers gatheredaround the pool to watch theturtle move around.
At the end of the hike, Pi-cone and the group gatheredaround a deer carcass. Pi-cone said it’s likely the deerhad been hit by a car onRoute 15 and come into thewoods to die. Picone put onhis latex gloves and ex-plained how well-insulatedthe deer’s fur is in the winter.

Freda addresses Rotary
First Selectman Michael Freda recently shared pos-itive news about the Town with his colleagues inthe North Haven Rotary Club.
First Selectman MichaelFreda addressed the NorthHaven Rotary recently. Heexamined the state of af-fairs in town by breakinghis overview of its progressinto two broad categories, fi-nancial and economic devel-opment. Describing fi-nances as being in “fineshape,” he noted that heaims to restore the AAA rat-ing to the community whichcan boast a fund balance($1.7 million) presently at 8percent. In addition, fiscalborrowing at record lowrates has allowed taxpayersto approve a $14 millionbond package for the publicworks garage, the fire hous-es, and road improvements.Freda also supports theBoard of Education budget,now reported to be a 3-per-cent hike. Although he saidthat he was disappointed
that he was unable to reachhis goal of growing theGrand List more under eco-nomic development thispast year (only $83,000 of$300,000), he has now set hissights on one half to onemillion dollars for this year.
He then took his fellowRotarians on an amazingvirtual tour of the town, de-scribing improvementsstreet by street, from thesuccess of new businessesalong Universal Drive andState Street (and the pavingthere, as well) to develop-ment of medical facilitieson Devine Street, withhopes of Yale/New HavenHospital expansion still onthe table. Northern Wash-ington Avenue continues tobe his toughest challenge,but a developer known asRPG has recently broughtsome valuable prospects to
the forefront. As he literallypointed out the front win-dow of the Breakfast NookRestaurant to an abandonedbuilding across the street,he spoke of plans by Quin-nipiac University to utilizethe structure for dormitoryspace while “keeping thestudents out of residentialareas.” He added that theabandoned Pratt & Whitneysite may also soon be consid-ered for big box retailing,housing, and mixed use.When asked to sum up thestate of the town in one sen-tence he replied, “NorthHaven is an outstandingcommunity that is on theprecipice to see some out-standing things happeningin the next two years thatwill benefit our citizens fordecades to come.”

Gas prices too high? Here’s whyBy David Yaccarino
When you stop to fill yourcar’s gas tank you might as-sume the constantly increas-ing gas prices are because ofinstability in the MiddleEast — where much of ouroil comes from — or specula-tion in the marketplace. Un-
fortunately,the price isclimbing butthe cause isnot quite asfar removed.Connecticutc u r r e n t l yhas the high-est price on
gasoline in the Northeastsimply because of combinedstate and federal taxes.
Connecticut has two taxeson gasoline, a State ExciseTax and a tax called theGross Receipts Tax. Thestate’s excise tax holds at asteady rate of $0.25 per gal-lon — a tax that seems highYaccarino
but is relatively even withsurrounding states. Thesecond tax, however, and theone that hurts Connecticutdrivers the most, is thestate’s gross receipts tax — a7.53 percent rate on the grossearnings of the first sale ofspecific petroleum productswithin Connecticut.
Connecticut’s Gross Re-ceipts Tax is collected at thewholesale level and chargedto gasoline retailers whopurchase the fuel fromwholesalers. Those retailersultimately pass the cost ofthe gross receipts tax theypay onto consumers. Whilethe excise tax stays at a con-stant 25 cents per gallon, theamount collected from thegross receipts tax grows ex-ponentially. Basically, as theprice of gasoline goes up, sodoes the tax. I believe thestate should cap the gross re-ceipts tax to alleviate theburden on Connecticut driv-ers because fluctuating taxescause instability, especiallyin household budgets.
As of the end of January,Connecticut taxpayers werepaying an average of $3.68per gallon according to AAA.Those prices include the
state’s 25 cents per gallon gastax and roughly another 22cents per gallon with thegross receipts tax.
It’s not a stretch to thinkthat gas prices will go evenhigher as a mild winter andsummer weather combine tosend more people to theircars for vacation driving, butwith the gross receipts taxthe price you pay at the pumpwill be even worse.
To make things even morepainful, the gross receiptstax rate is currently sched-uled to increase from 7.53percent to 8.1 percent in 2013.
For years, Republican leg-islators have fought to capthe gross receipts tax be-cause Connecticut’s busi-nesses and families can use abreak. However, the majorityparty has taken a differentstance and instead of cuttingspending uses these sneakytaxes as a revenue tool. Con-necticut doesn’t have a rev-enue problem it has a spend-ing problem and taxes likethis do a disservice to ourresidents.
As a legislative body wemust always think of the
